Strange Universe

Recent additions to Eglo Records who go by the name of Strange U occupy the same distorted, dark and murky corners of hip hop as Dr Octagon and Company Flow, and appropriately enough, not very much is known about who is behind the music that has previously been described by the label as ‘rap music that transcends barriers, hair do’s and passport photos’. Following a series of found-footage films for tracks such as ‘Rancid Canvas Licks’, ‘Plastique’ and the Om Unit produced ‘Imperious Rex’, things should get a little clearer with a forthcoming six-track EP next month that includes ‘Scarlett Jungle’ featuring Shadowstar Boxer, the video for which leaves behind the found footage, but retains the themes of trippy esotericism.
